Milk, butter, salt & pepper, nutmeg, fresh chopped herbs (lots - such as chives/parsley) ..that's how I like mine - some cheese stirred through is good too or caramelized onions mixed through.

Mashed Potatoes My FavouriteCut up a small onion and dice finely. Place raw onions in spuds when mashing. (a) Add half a pkt of maggi onion soup to the potatoes, mash as usual then add 1 tbsp of whole grain mustard and mix thru. (b) Try olive oil and crushed garlic through your mashed potato instead of butter and milk. (c) Grated tasty cheese and diced raw onion in mashed potatoes for tasty difference. Or use 2spring onions. (d) Boil a good size piece of pumpkin with the potatoes..Mash altogether for nice colour and different subtle flavour. (e) Boil some kumara with the potatoes .. Mash altogether for nice colour and different subtle flavour. (f) Add silver beet half way through to the potatoes as they cook. Then mash all together. (g) Add cabbage half way through to the potatoes as they cook. Add black pepper and then mash all together. Ideal with corn beef and mustard sauce (h) Add 1/2 cup finely chopped parsley while mashing. (i) Add 2 tbsp of sundried tomatoes and 2 tbsp of chopped basil. (j) Add 2 rashers of chopped cooked bacon and a dash of tabasco sauce. (k) Add 1 ~ 2 tbsp each of Thai green curry paste and chopped parsley

Whack the top off a whole garlic bulb and roast in the oven for around an hour. When the bulb has cooled a little (it really does get too hot); squeeze it, and the garlic will pop out. It's very sweet, and not garlicky. Add to mash potatoes and use Olive Oil. It's called Skordalia, and very delish.
